warm‑blooded nature of tunas developed gradually over roughly 50 million years, rather than as an immediate response to the asteroid impact that ended the age of dinosaurs. Rethinking the K‑Pg Trigger Hypothesis For decades, scientists have argued that...

A volcanic structure on the Moon’s far side reveals evidence of an ancient magnetic dynamo, suggesting our neighbor had a magnetic field 4.2 billion years ago. Unlike Earth, which maintains a robust magnetic shield powered by the churning of its molten...

and Al-normalized compositions of major rock-forming lithophile elements in bulk silicate Earth2, bulk silicate Mars3, the asteroid Vesta (based on howardite–eucrite–diogenite (HED) meteorites34), two asteroid sample returns (Ryugu30 and Bennu31), as...

New research suggests an icy ’Oumuamua lost massive amounts of material over millions of years, revealing a cosmic filter shaping interstellar visitors. Interstellar space might appear to be a vast, empty void, but for frozen objects drifting between...

Scientists find raspberry‑linked sugar near the Milky Way’s core, revealing a surprising interstellar chemical trail. A team of astronomers has reported the first unequivocal identification of a sugar molecule, erythrulose, inside a dense cloud of gas...

Scientists have discovered a new fruit-eating dinosaur, Infernogallus jamesi, that lived alongside T. rex, featuring a unique jaw designed for soft plants. A newly identified dinosaur species offers compelling evidence that some non-avian theropods...

Scientists detect erythrulose, a true sugar, in a molecular cloud near the Galactic Center – the first confirmed interstellar sugar discovery. Astronomers have now identified erythrulose—a four‑carbon sugar that naturally occurs in raspberries—in the...

Scientists are combining AI and nanotechnology to detect potential signs of life in space by analyzing single-molecule electrical patterns in meteorites. Researchers at the University of Osaka have unveiled a novel electrical sensing technique that...

Crocodiles survived the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs, and a new study suggests their preference for warm climates may have been the key. For more than 250 million years, the ancestral line of modern crocodiles has maintained a steadfast,...

Subsequent observations have ruled out any collision risk for the 2029 approach and have sharpened scientists’ grasp of the asteroid’s orbit. NASA has taken a leading role in tracking the rock through its planetary‑defense initiatives, refining...

A new computer model reveals when Earth became habitable, suggesting that the very asteroid impacts once thought to destroy life may have actually enabled it. New three-dimensional computer simulations suggest that the conditions necessary for the...

Scientists discover a mysterious batch of space dust that defies known sources, sparking a hunt for its elusive asteroid origin. Analysis of microscopic particles recovered from Antarctic ice and city rooftops has uncovered a new class of cosmic dust...

New research analyzing decades-old NASA data has uncovered a hidden clue about Mercury’s past that could reshape our understanding of how the planet formed. New research suggests Mercury has undergone significantly more contraction than previously...

A University of Helsinki student has identified a previously unknown comet in Euclid telescope images, marking a milestone for future space exploration. Europe’s Euclid space telescope has unexpectedly captured its first-ever sighting of a previously...

an engineering demonstration, its success is a foundational requirement for AstroForge’s broader ambitions in the asteroid mining sector. The company has dedicated its resources to mastering the logistical hurdles of identifying and interacting with...

New isotope evidence from meteorites shows that amino acids formed through more than one chemical route in the early solar system, revealing a complex pre-life chemistry long before Earth existed. Long before Earth formed oceans, air, or life,...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has discovered an unusually hard, light-toned Martian rock that resisted its first attempt to collect a core sample. NASA’s Rover Probes Ancient Martian Catastrophes in Rugged Frontier NASA’s Perseverance rover has ventured...

A rare meteorite that hit a New Jersey home provides scientists a pristine glimpse of life‑origin materials. When a meteorite smashed through a residential roof in New Jersey, it delivered a remarkably pristine fragment of a rare carbonaceous...

catalogued as 1998 SH2, now bears the cometary designation P/1998 SH2. Orbital Anomalies Reveal Outgassing When the asteroid‑like body passed close to Earth in August 2025, radar data from NASA’s Deep Space Network showed a small but measurable...

Study warns upcoming lunar missions may damage rare clues about life’s origins, urging careful protection of fragile moon evidence. A new analysis published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets warns that upcoming human and robotic trips to...
